Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 100,413,101, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 100,413,101 | |
| -1 | -100,413,101 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 100,413,101.
Example:
1 x 100,413,101 = 100,413,101
and
-1 x -100,413,101 = 100,413,101
Notice both answers equal 100,413,101
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 100,413,101 and divide it by 2:
100,413,101 ÷ 2 = 50,206,550.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 50,206,550.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 100,413,101 | |
| -1 | -100,413,101 |
Now, we try dividing 100,413,101 by 3:
100,413,101 ÷ 3 = 33,471,033.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 33,471,033.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 100,413,101 | |
| -1 | -100,413,101 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
100,413,101 ÷ 4 = 25,103,275.25
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 25,103,275.25 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 100,413,101 | |
| -1 | 100,413,101 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 17 | 23 | 67 | 391 | 1,139 | 1,541 | 3,833 | 26,197 | 65,161 | 88,159 | 256,811 | 1,498,703 | 4,365,787 | 5,906,653 | 100,413,101 |
| -1 | -17 | -23 | -67 | -391 | -1,139 | -1,541 | -3,833 | -26,197 | -65,161 | -88,159 | -256,811 | -1,498,703 | -4,365,787 | -5,906,653 | -100,413,101 |
